FCCBL20BB Aquafilter BIG BLUE 20" carbon filter cartridge

Big Blue 20" sintered carbon cartridge for improving water quality

Aquafilter FCCBL20BB is made of sintered activated carbon. This design effectively reduces the presence of contaminants responsible for deteriorating the taste, odor, and overall quality of water. The cartridge is intended for installation in 20" Big Blue housings and can be an important part of a larger water treatment system in a house, apartment, or utility applications.

Activated carbon-based solutions are widely used wherever effective improvement of the organoleptic properties of water matters. The cartridge can operate as part of a classic filtration setup, as well as a complement to more advanced systems such as an osmotic filter, reverse osmosis filter, reverse osmosis system, or reverse osmosis at earlier stages of water preparation.

How the Aquafilter FCCBL20BB cartridge works

The filtration medium is sintered activated carbon with a developed structure. In practice, this translates into high adsorption efficiency and improved water performance parameters. The cartridge removes 98% to 99% of free chlorine from water, chlorinated solvents, and aromatic hydrocarbons, significantly improving the taste and odor of water.

At the same time, the cartridge reduces up to 85% of chlorinated pesticides, polyaromatic compounds, phenol, benzene, and organic substances. This makes it a good choice wherever an effective filter cartridge is needed to support the daily treatment of cold water.

Why sintered activated carbon is effective

Sintered carbon is characterized by a much larger specific surface area and a greater number of active sites. Compared to other carbon cartridges, this means about 25% greater service performance. This structure supports longer, stable operation and effective contact between the water and the filtration material.

In practice, the user gains more effective reduction of compounds responsible for unpleasant taste and odor, as well as better use of the cartridge's potential in daily operation.

Key advantages of the cartridge

• Removes up to 99% of free chlorine from water.
• Removes organic contaminants.
• Removes phenol and benzene from water.
• Removes up to 85% of chlorinated pesticides.
• Improves the taste and odor of water.
• Has PZH certification.

Application and compatibility

The FCCBL20BB model is designed for the treatment of cold drinking water and cold general utility water. The cartridge fits 20" Big Blue housings, so it performs well in systems requiring higher capacity and a solid level of carbon-stage filtration.

It can be used as a standalone element improving the quality of cold water or as part of a larger water filtration system. Depending on the system configuration, the cartridge supports the reduction of compounds affecting the comfort of everyday water use.

Operation and installation recommendations

To extend the service life of the carbon cartridge, a housing with an FCPS or FCPP series sediment cartridge should be installed before the housing with the FCCBL20BB cartridge. Preliminary mechanical filtration helps retain solid contaminants that could accelerate wear of the carbon medium.
